A bill to amend section 408 of the Disaster Relief Act of 1974 to provide that grant assistance to meet disaster-related expenses or needs shall be available thereunder to a disaster victim whenever it is clearly in his best interest (and shall not be limited to cases where he is unable to meet such expenses or needs through loans or from other sources), and to make it clear that such grant assistance is available to meet disaster-caused business expenses (including farming losses) as well as to meet individual and family needs.

Summary

Extends the Federal-State grant program under the Disaster Relief Act to permit grants to businesses (including farming) or other persons in addition to the presently allowable grants to individuals and families. Expands the circumstances under which assistance may be granted to include those cases where such a grant is clearly in the best interest of the individual, family, business, or other person involved, as determined by the State.
